Abstract
An example method is provided in one example embodiment and may include determining one or more outlier access points (APs) of a plurality of APs managed by a same service provider, wherein the determining is performed based on performance metrics calculated for each of the plurality of APs and wherein each outlier AP has a performance metric that fails to satisfy a performance metric threshold; identifying a Radio Frequency (RF) cluster to which each outlier AP belongs, wherein each outlier AP belongs to only one RF cluster; applying one or more optimization parameters to one or more APs for one or more RF clusters; and calculating new performance metrics for the plurality of APs to determine whether any of the plurality of APs fail to satisfy the performance metric threshold after the one or more optimization parameters are applied.
